Sas, not sure what you mean by this and what extra kit you think an ambulance, air or otherwise, has on board that we don't.
Nice of you to join in Craab....perhaps you can answer some of the questions posed earlier about the Strathclyde Mine Shaft tragedy.
I am quite sure the SeaKing you lot enjoy with all of its amazing kit....does not have Heart Pumps, Ventilators, LOX systems, and other standard fit that most US based EMS helicopters do. I also would be quite surprised your Crewmen are as highly qualified and certified medical specialists as are routinely assigned to US based EMS helicopter crews.
That is because you are Rescue folks and not Medical Intervention folks....as the tasks are very different.
What is the medical capability of the standard RAF SAR Rescue crew?
The rest of the discussion revolved around the lack of a Litter/stretcher where the woman who died in the Strathclyde mine shaft tragedy could be lifted safely to the surface.
My question about the RAF SAR units nearby....was whether you carry such a stretcher/litter onboard your aircraft as a standard fit as does our USCG and Air Force Rescue folks do.
Since you are involved here now Craab....can you answer those questions for us?
Do you lot have a winchable stretcher onboard your aircraft?
If requested by the Strathclyde Fire Brigade...would you have responded to the scene?
If requested....how long would it have taken for such a response?
Was the RAF contacted by the Strathclyde Fire Brigade about the feasibility of such a response?
Did the RAF Mountain Rescue Team(s) respond to that incident?
If they did...what were the results?
